3. Setting up your HYDR
IM
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• To open the wash chamber door if the door is locked and the unit is not functional,
release the lever located on the top edge of the door and pull the door open. (For more
detail, see section 4.9 Opening the door in case of a power failure.)
• Ensure that HIP™ Ultra cleaning solution (instrument wash chemical) is available.
All other supplies are included with your unit.
• The HYDR
IM
C61wd G4 is heavy (44 kg). Exercise caution when moving it.
• The HYDR
IM
C61wd G4 must be properly grounded.
• The HYDR
IM
C61wd G4 is equipped with an air gap / anti-suction device to prevent
backflow of dirty water into the water supply. No other air gap device is necessary.
3.1 Installation
Installation should only be undertaken by a SciCan approved technician. The use of an
unapproved installer may invalidate the warranty. A separate pre-installation checklist
should have been supplied by your dealer. Please review this prior to approving installation.
If the HYDR
IM
C61wd G4 is installed in a sterilization center, the manufacturer of the
sterilization center should allow enough space at the top, back and both sides of the unit
to facilitate installation, leveling, and service access to the unit.
Do not move the HYDR
IM
C61wd G4 into place by maneuvering the open wash chamber
door. This may cause the door to become misaligned and can cause leakage.
During installation, all consumables should have been added to the machine as approriate.
It is important to check that this has been undertaken before starting the machine.
3.2 Handling and installing the HIP™ Ultra cleaning solution
The HIP™ Ultra cleaning solution is used in dilute form as a detergent for the cleaning of
surgical instruments in the HYDR
IM
range of washers and washer disinfectors. It is a
colourless and almost odourless liquid which is completely soluble in water.
The ph range is between 9.3 – 9.8 and the solution is therefore mildly alkaline. It is therefore
advised that certain precautionary measures are observed when handling during the loading
of the solution into the machine, and when removing and disposing of the empty bag.
